You don't have to be rich at all - you can just use a co-sponsor.

It's true that the fees are a lot, but you don't pay for everything at one time (except AOS - ouch).

Hi Everybody,

Just since we are talking numbers and i have so few in my pocket,

how much is AOS? and how long after their arrival and marriage (in the case of a K1) do you have to file AOS?

Thanks, (F)

I'm not sure about the AOS timeframe, but I do know it's $1010...Thank goodness I've already saved up for it. Darren has paid for everything up to this point, so I have no problem paying for this...

Thank God it was less than $600 when we sent off for the GC and EAD. I can't believe how expensive things have gotten....we applied not even two years ago and the I-129F was less than $200.

I heard that removing conditions is expensive too :crying: .

You need to apply as soon as you can after the marriage. The beneficiary will technically be out of status after their I-94 expires (90 days). However if you get married on day 88, you can file on day 102 and still be ok. It's more a matter of the foreign spouse can't do much until AOS is filed and EAD/AP are received.
